If you are experiencing problems with the sensor, check that all cables are connected properly and restart your system.

Verify that any previously loaded hardware and/or software installed in the same serial port as your sensor has been uninstalled. Even though the hardware has been disconnected, the software can still claim the port. Ensure that all components are completely removed from the system files.

To correct the communication settings in a Windows® system, use the Windows® Hardware Conflict Troubleshooter from Windows® Help .

Note: For specific troubleshooting information for Linux® systems, refer to Chapter 5.
